Father's Day Gift Idea

Father's Day is Sunday.

Nothing like last minute, huh?

I was making some other projects with koozies (see blog on Monday!) and had a great idea for a quick, cheap and simple gift to celebrate my husband's first Father's Day as this cutie's dad!

(shameless plug for my adorable daughter, I realize this)
 

I simply painted my daughter's palms with white paint I had on hand and pressed one on either side of the blank koozie from the craft store.
 
Side note: Although I said "simply", that probably isn't the best adjective to describe this task. It will definitely take two people to hold open your child's palm and paint it if you have a wiggly 7 month old that likes to clasp her hand around things during this stage. Have baby wipes handy and don't be afraid to get a little paint on your hands. If you get extra marks on the koozie or mess up, you can quickly wipe it off with a baby wipe and start over!
 
 
 

After some personalization and a fairly quick dry time, my daughter can now "hold" her daddy's cold drinks. Presh.
 
Time to get crafty!

Happy Halloween!

I have such great memories of this holiday from growing up! It is my dad's birthday (click here to read how awesome he is) and so we always had a haunted house for all the trick or treaters that was legitimately scary and took a while to set up but was so worth it. We ended the night with all my parent's friends coming over for pumpkin pie and a birthday celebration. Who wouldn't love that as a kid? Some of my favorite memories are from this day!

Enjoy this Halloween round-up!
